Frozen extended digits no more with the new ergonomically designed “Occu-finger” from #OWS Fiber Arts. Knitted to help you keep exactly one finger sheltered from the elements at all times, the Occu-finger works on any digit, whether you’re showing your disdain for the NYPD or simply pointing out some of New York’s finer tourist attractions to a friend. Knitted in a variety of colours to match any outfit, the Fiber Arts Occu-finger is as at home on the runway as it is on the freeway for fashion minded activists the world over.

And what better venue to unveil our newest models than at this weekend’s Occupy Town Square III at Tompkins Square Park from 11am to 5pm on Sunday. Fiber Arts will be there with knitting by Marsha and Karen, Hearts by Patricia, Paper Cranes by Raven and Signpainting by David. Join us this weekend and flip a bird, be it a paper crane or an Occu-finger at your favourite target.

Ask around OWS about Edward David Heath II and you won’t hear a thing. Ask about Raven and you’ll hear everything. Everything good. Since the beginning of OWS in Zuccotti park Raven Bluefeather, a Unitarian Minister and Native American Shaman has charmed those who have met him including the media here on the left at TotallyCoolPix.com.  Also a member of TechOps working group, Raven shows his skillz in design, building and codeing sites and other digital media on his site, Raven2099. A towering figure, always in black with his signature cowboy hat, Raven has defined the prototypical Occupier with his passion, devotion and longevity. But with #OWS Fiber Arts Raven has once again reinvented himself – this time as a master maker of 1000 paper cranes. Working at Charlotte’s Place over the past few weeks he and a few close friends managed to fold 1000 for another friend to fulfill a Japanese proverb – one that grants a person a wish, should they have folded for them 1000 origami cranes. And as paper is a fiber as well as wool or any other variety, we’re more than happy to have Raven as a member of the group. Say hi when you see him. He’s the gentlest giant around.
